The Tribble patch notes posted by ColdSnapped earlier this afternoon offer our first good look at the massive changes incoming for kits. No more modules on a belt, kits are equipped directly to your character on the status page. Modules and ‘Kits’ offer passive bonuses and can be upgraded.

The other big news is that fleet holding items like contraband, torpedoes and commodities have been replaced with simple EC requirements. Fan-fracking-tastic 😉

Tribble has been updated to: ST.66.20160925a.2

New Features:

New Fleet Holding: Starbase K-13

Rebuild the 23rd Century Starbase K-13, found after being lost in time for over 140 years.

Restoring K-13 will allow the development of interesting retrofitted technology and exotic xenobiological advances for a fleet.

Advancing this new Fleet Holding through to its completion will also grant many incredible new options for equipping a player’s ship and crew, as well as improving some of the core options available to Captain and fleet mates.
